Rotor Technology
The Heart and Soul of the Internal Mixer are its Rotors.
KOBELCO is on the leading edge of innovative rotor design. Our research and development engineers continue to design, evaluate and test numerous cross-sectional profiles and wing configurations. This ongoing commitment to research and development has resulted in the highest performance rotors available.
5THR Hybrid Tangential Rotor
- Designed for high shear and reaction mixing
- Silica mixing with coupling agent is one of the best applications
- Kobelco cooling system 3.0 (Super high cooling system) applied
- 5THR provides intermeshing mixing technology with tangential Mixers
- 5THR has interchangeability with Kobelco 4-wing or 6-wing rotors
- Even speed or friction ratio is possible
Intermeshing Rotor KIR II
- High output and mixing efficiency
- Good material feeding ability and faster RAM seating
- Excellent ingredient dispersion
- Excellent for silica fillers
- Even speed only
- Requires approx. 25% more drive power than 2-wing rotors
4-Wing N Tangential Rotor
- Avoids excessive temperature build up during mixing
- Better uniformity of batch temperature
- Exceptional for “final batch mixing”
- Excellent for silica fillers up to 80 phr
- Rubber flow is more aggressive than other standard 4-wing rotors
- Slimmer profile yields increased output / throughput
- Lower energy consumption
- Even speed or friction ratio is possible
6-Wing VCMT (Variable Clearance Mixing Technology)Tangential Rotor
- High output and mixing efficiency
- Shorter mixing times and Faster Mooney Reduction
- Varying wing tip to chamber side clearances
- Varying wing tip widths
- Excellent ingredient dispersion
- Excellent for Carbon black Master Batch
- Increased material movement improves homogeneity
- Even speed or friction ratio
4-Wing H Tangential Rotor
- High output and mixing efficiency
- High long to short wing ratio.
- Excellent ingredient dispersion
- Smooth material flow within chamber
- Even speed or friction ratio.
- General purpose Rotor
2-Wing S Tangential Rotor
- General purpose
- Temperature sensitive mixing
- Low energy consumption
- Good dispersion
- Even speed or friction ratio possible
